Asif Warns: If Afghanistan Looks Askance at Islamabad, We Will Put Out Their Eyes
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, quoting mehr news Agency via Times of India, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif issued a stern warning to Afghanistan.He stated that if Kabul continues its attacks on Islamabad, it will face a response “50 times stronger.”
Asif also described Kabul as “India’s puppet.” His remarks came after the sudden collapse of peace talks between the two sides in Istanbul, Turkey. Pakistan has accused India of using Afghanistan for a low-intensity conflict against it. Kabul has previously denied these allegations.
Asif added that Kabul employs a familiar tactic to divert attention by portraying Pakistan negatively while in reality serving as India’s puppet. he said: “I commend their delegation, but those pulling their strings are controlled by New Delhi.”
He claimed that India is compensating for its setbacks on its western border through Kabul. The military caretaker government in Afghanistan (Taliban management) reportedly includes elements who have traveled to India and visited its temples. India aims to engage in low-intensity warfare with Pakistan and uses Kabul as its tool.
Responding to questions about how Pakistan would react if tensions escalate and threats from Kabul toward islamabad persist, Asif asserted: “If Afghanistan even glances sideways at Islamabad, we will take out their eyes.”
He accused Afghanistan of supporting terrorists and said they have been doing so over the past four years: “there is no doubt that Kabul is responsible for terrorism in Pakistan. It acts at the behest of New Delhi.” He vowed that any attack on Islamabad would be met with an appropriate response-“a response 50 times stronger.”
Kabul has previously dismissed Islamabad’s accusations of supporting terrorism as baseless.
